NEW ORLEANS, La. (WVUE) - Construction projects near the levees in New Orleans that were put on hold due to high water levels are resuming, but the city said the work will be paused again soon.

One of the projects is the Bourbon Phase Two Project, part of the city’s project to improve drainage, upgrade the sewer system and smooth out the pavement and sidewalks. Ramsay Green, deputy chief administrative officer of infrastructure, said they recently got approval from the Army Corps to get back to work.



quote:

"The big news is that for Southern Decadence, we are completely demobilizing by the end of the day on August 28, shut down, people won't even know there's been a construction project going on, and then we restart up after the labor day weekend on September third," Green said.

If not, I apologize for calling you a twat waffle

Seems to be the NOLA plan... keeping putting things off for everything until nothing gets done and the construction company gets paid for not doing a damn thing.

What do y'all think is 1) necessary and 2) plausible that would result in at least an average, competent local government?

1. A complete gutting and replacement of every department from the top down with competent/trustworthy/efficient individuals

2. I think we've got a better chance of colonizing Mars than we do getting a competent local government anywhere in south LA.

They have to remove the cars from the sewers first.

I did hear that they are changing the name of Bourbon Street to Hershey Highway, so not all projects were put on hold....

They’d need to make it a one way street with some occasional traffic going in the wrong direction.

People planning on going to Southern Decadence said they thought this was "faaaaaaaabulous" since they are used to big, filthy holes anyway.
